"Neo-con" is a misnomer. We must change the frame.

[reprobate]

There is nothing 'conservative' about this bunch of ideologs. What they have done is nothing short of ignoring the laws of national and international agreements.

They hijacked the republican party, and there is now, from what the media lets leak, a big split between them and the true conservatives.

I therefore suggest that the term 'neo-con' be dropped from the lexicon and in its place we substitute:

"The Criminal Wing of the Republican Party"

This would marginalize them both with us and the middle ground republicans. And that will mean a win for us in november.

1. Personally, I think they should have to sort out their own terminology...

but if you want to tackle it, I think your suggestion actually obscures who you're talking about.

How about "neo-con-artists"? Shorter, more to the point, and points to exactly to whom you're referring.

2. I kind of like "neo-con"...

"Neo" invokes the first half of the phrase "Neo-Nazi" to me. "Con" as a verb is perfect to describe what they do. It's the most marginalizing, belittling term I've heard for a party in a long time. I think it's great.

3. Hopefully they will be neo-conVICTS after the election

4. It's their own coinage

5. I know - they picked their own criminal sounding name... Cracks me up!

Shows how clueless they are about how others perceive them.
